War is Coming
The eRepublik staff is bringing the peaceful Platon (not Platonic!) era to a close and issuing in the new ephemeral leadership of the Great Emperor Caesar. It seems that in around 30 days we will have a [a url=http://www.erepublik.com/article-104772.html]brand new war module[/a] to break. In addition to the new war module there will also be a much better system for the regulation of banks coming, until then continue to make full use of the contract forum.
Buy eAmerican!
While there have been various articles written about it (most with the "just buy MY stuff, who cares what nationality it is") there really is a need to "Buy American!" Right now we are in a state of economic flux, some of it based on currency valuation and some of it based on our normal growing pains. We have been seeing a lot more actual population growth and retention in the US which has been placing a burden on our companies to expand (especially with new companies starting up). The only way we can continue growth is with continued reinvestment of capital.
Many new players may not realize it, but the monetary system in eRepublik is very fragile and not self-sustaining by definition. We have to work very hard and be very mindful of how we spend our money in order to sustain it. Foreign companies undercutting our existing companies will be able to do so for a long time to come because of how they structured their market. We made a mistake when we started the US with how large salaries and prices for goods should be. While we are working to correct the deficiency, we need your help to do it. Continue to ignore the foreign goods being priced so low on the market, and we will continue to work to fix the strength of the US dollar.
Saturday is Election Day!
Don't forget to get out and [a url=http://www.erepublik.com/press_release-7931.html]vote this Saturday[/a], it is the first election since incumbent Korbin King stepped down and it will be a very important step in the future of our nation, don't forget to be heard!
International Diplomacy
With the impending war module many citizens are finally starting to concern themselves with international relations. Benn Dover claims to have figured out the [a url=http://www.erepublik.com/article-103851.html]secret to Pakistan[/a] and Vos has conducted an [a url=http://www.erepublik.com/article-101261.html]extensive random survey[/a] to ferret out opinions on the US from various countries around the globe. These players remind us that it will become increasingly important to continue an open dialogue with our allies in the coming days.
Monetary Market
This seems to be the hot button for everyone these days. Just how bad is the economy and what do we need to do to fix it? Kaleb has taken some time to explain both the [a url=http://www.erepublik.com/article-101021.html]new RER values[/a] and the [a url=http://www.erepublik.com/article-103451.html]GDP figures[/a] that have been posted or fixed in recent days. Benn Dover has a proposed solution to [a url=http://www.erepublik.com/article-101842.html]fixing the monetary market[/a] and Libertarian Presidential hopeful Nave has been trying to help people see how [a url=http://www.erepublik.com/press_release-7951.html]exchange rates can directly effect trade[/a], both internally and internationally. Nave also offered his own treatise on how to fix the economy by [a url=http://www.erepublik.com/press_release-7951.html]adjusting the price of gold[/a].
More Openings at the DoD
Our very own Department of Defense, hosted on external forums alongside the UN, continues to grow and mature. If you haven't made a visit to Dishmcds and doctor_subtilis' creation lately I suggest you [a url=http://www.erepublik.com/article-100871.html]check it out[/a].
Possible eRepublik Webcomic
Okin Rebiets has offered to start writing a new [a url=http://www.erepublik.com/article-103791.html]eRepublik webcomic[/a], please head on over to his paper and show your support. Personally, I think it would be a great edition, and done well the admins might even be able to use it to help market the game. Take a chance Okin!

Comments
Yay, I\'m mentioned again, albeit in a more passive way than I\'m used to.
A very well written summary of what\'s going on in the USA. Great work!
Thanks, hopefully things like this will take off so we can create two tiers of media: the majority of newspapers creating the content (that are better organized and searchable) and a few meta-newspapers that perhaps get their own newsfeed to make news more easily consumable and not get lost in the shuffle so often.
Maal you\'ve done a wonderful job with this so far bud. Also, to anyone reading these comments, please note that The Palace still has one spot left to one dedicated and consistent employee.
